“Do not regret growing old, it is a priviledge denied to many” - Anonymous

Holistic care is at the core of our approach at Ballinamore House Nursing Home Co. Mayo and our care team works hard to ensure that all our residents’ medical, emotional, physical and spiritual needs are met. Family is also very important and many of our activities are designed to include family members of all ages so birthdays, anniversaries, special events and everything in between can be celebrated and enjoyed together. 

Weekly activities

Our full-time activity coordinator schedules a range of activities that cater for residents’ varying interests, skill levels and abilities, from word searches, bingo and art classes to aromatherapy, nutribullet tastings, garden walks and exercise classes. 

Local excursions

Residents love our regular excursions to local places of interest including the Museum of Country of Life, garden centres, Knock and even to breathe in the fresh sea air at Enniscrone. 

Special events

During the summer months we relish the warmer weather and enjoy barbeques and our meals outdoors as often as we can. The Ballinamore House Nursing Home Co. Mayo family fun day is a particular treat with fabulous food, face painting, bouncy castle and music. Race days come alive with glamorous race wear including hats for the ladies and smart wear for the men, while mock money is printed and a bookie visits to give residents a chance to bet on their favourites. 

Among the finer indulgences at Ballinamore House Nursing Home Co. Mayo is a freshly baked afternoon tea with Sharon’s prized collection of china. Residents are also treated to fine dining on events such as Valentine’s Day where our dining room is set just like a restaurant, with proper linen, menus and background music and our team dressed properly as wait staff.  Importantly, birthdays are always marked and residents’ families encouraged to join us for a slice of cake to celebrate annual milestones.
